I am in MARS yes. I'm not sure I've ever sold a radio MARS modified I didn't
get that way though it's hard to remember. I don't buy and sell like I used
to, I don't have room or finances to be doing that all the time anymore and
the way I'm setup right now, everything's so tight, changing radios is a
long hard process moving cables from one to the other so likely what I have
now will be what I have until it either dies, or gets old enough I decide to
get something else and make my current TS-2000 my backup radio. .
